What is “Dead Peasant” Insurance? http://deadpeasantinsurance.com/
http://onehourairofwa.com/heat/benefit/ is the link to the cancer benefit. Spread it around like crazy?
Ok, I can release more info on the cancer benefit August 28th http://onehourairofwa.com/heat/benefit/ more info Monday.
CORRECTION: I need acoustic & VERY family friendly artists for the cancer benefit in Olympia, Wa on August 28th (not this weekend).
What's more important, a musician with tons of heart and feel or a musician with tons of technical ability?
I need acoustic and VERY family friendly artists for the cancer benefit in Olympia on the last Sat of this month. Day time show.
Still planning details of cancer benefit, but should be able to announce the website Monday. I'll need tons of help spreading the info!

If you want to hurt the terrorist, buy an electric car. If you seriously want to stick it to BP, buy an electric car. Otherwise STFU.
If you aggree with your favorite news source all the time, you should be questioning their journalistic integrity.
